Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter - Fleetwood Southwind 1996 Owner's Manual

Bathroom, galley, and patio 120-volt electrical outlets are
protected by a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI).
This device is intended to protect you against the hazards of
electrical shocks possible when using electrical appliances in
the bathroom or galley or in damp areas. Should a circuit or
appliance (electric shaver, hair dryer, etc.) develop a poten-
tial shock hazard, the GFCI device is designed to disconnect
the outlet (and other outlets on the same circuit), limiting
your exposure time.
Test the GFCI at least once a month. To test the GFCI:
1. Connect the main power cord to 120-volt AC.
2. Push the TEST button. The RESET button shou.ld pop out,
indicating that the protected circuit has been discon-
nected.
3. If the RESET button does not pop out when the test button
is pushed, a loss of ground fault protection is indicated.
Do not use any electrical outlets. Have the motor home
electrical system checked at an authorized Fleetwood
Service Center or by a qualified electrician. Do not use the
system until the problem has been corrected.
4. To restore power push the RESET button.
Your Owner's Information Package contains a card that can
be used to record test dates. Keep the card in a conspicuous
place and keep it up to date.
